Description

[ Back to top ]

Habitat

Ecology: It is resident in fairly open mixed forest , which covers most of the island, from sea-level to the peak at c.700 m. The female is sealed into a nest-cavity for the duration of egg-laying and chick-rearing (the breeding period spanning at least February-April). At this time, the female sheds her flight feathers and is incapable of flight. Each pair generally raise two young.[1]
